After particularly long and strenuous workouts, you might feel like your body has been stretched and bent in seven different directions. Your post-workout recovery, surprisingly, doesn’t just depend on the number of supplements you take, what food you eat, and how comfortable your bed is. According to studies, your genes are actually a factor in how fast your body can bounce back after rigorous physical activities.
LifeDNA’s fitness DNA test can help you understand how your genetics play a role in your post exercise recovery and fitness routine. Our genetic testing is a premium choice for optimizing fitness, recovery, and injury prevention for any health-concerned individual.
The Genetics of Post-Workout Soreness and Recovery
Post-exercise recovery rate based on DNA
It is recommended that you rest for 48 hours after strenuous exercises like High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). If your genetic variation shows that you have a slower recovery time in between workouts, you should listen and choose physical activities that have longer intervals. This may also mean that because of your genetic makeup, you may need to skip the gym for a day or two so your body and muscles can fully recover.

DNA fitness test for Injury predisposition
Tendonitis is a type of inflammation, specifically of the tendons. It is among the most common injuries an individual can incur if they do rigorous physical activities. The pain of inflamed tendons – or any other part of the body – can be debilitating and will not only stop you from exercising but from everyday tasks.
A fitness DNA test can tell you if you are more at risk of incurring injuries than others. You might want to tailor your fitness routines to include stretching regularly, warming up properly, and staying hydrated to decrease your likelihood of injuries.

DNA fitness test for Muscle Damage & Exercise
Pain can be truly unpleasant and can hinder you from many goals, including your fitness goals. The popular saying no pain, no gain might actually hold some truth to it. Being able to tolerate a certain level of pain also has its benefits.
A DNA fitness test can tell if your inflammation and pain tolerance is higher based on your genetic indicators. For people with lower pain tolerance, you might want to hold back on strenuous training like HIIT or at least schedule them with enough rest time in between workouts.
If you want personalized insights into your muscle function and growth, LifeDNA offers genetic testing that optimizes your recovery and injury prevention routine.Try it today.![](https://lifedna.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3757376-768x512.jpg)
